Heather and Mike, longtime Disney enthusiasts, are driving to Orlando from North Carolina for a spring break vacation with their daughter Autumn (12). Before heading over to the Yacht Club, they will be visiting the three Universal Studios parks for the first time with a stay at Endless Summer! They will be planning to enjoy the Mardi Gras offerings while at Universal and the Flower & Garden Festival during their Epcot time. Of course, since they have decided to stay at Yacht Club, they will have to dip their toes in Stormalong Bay at some point.

Welcome back to Danielle! This was, in Danielle’s words, the “perfect” trip. Danielle, her husband Danny, and her mom and dad enjoyed their time in Disney and are brand new annual passholders. If you want to hear about their dinner at Victoria and Albert’s, taking mom on Tiana’s and Guardians of the Galaxy for the first time, and how it went taking over as the family tour manager (after learning from her mom all those years ago), tune in!

Danielle, also known as the main mouse at Ask The Mouse dot com, is back on the show! This time, she is planning a trip she will be taking with her husband Danny and her mom and dad (who haven’t been since 2022). And the best part is, all four of them will be becoming annual passholders for the first time. They have so much to look forward to, like a reservation at Victoria and Albert’s and staying at a good neighbor hotel they have enjoyed in the past. But Danielle is most especially looking forward to hopefully getting her mom on Guardians of the Galaxy finally!

Mike and his family are back from the Polynesian and it was nearly perfect. Practically perfect as Mary Poppins might say! There were one or two bumps in the road, but nothing these Disney veterans couldn’t handle.

Mike and his family are planning a trip to their home DVC resort, the Polynesian! As DVC members and Annual Passholders, this family of three are frequent WDW guests. This trip will be a little different because daughter Madison was recently diagnosed with Celiac, so this will be their first time exploring the parks and paying attention to all the gluten free options for her. She’s also just passed 40 inches and may be able to ride Rise of the Resistance for the first time! In addition to all the usual fun, Mike has gifted his wife Christina a spa treatment at the Grand Floridian Spa.
